Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and using WPML to translate posts. When translating, I need to select images for translation, but I only want the featured image to be selected by default.

Symptoms:
By default, the checkboxes for translating images are not selected, and I want the featured image checkbox to be selected automatically.

Questions:
Is it possible to have the featured image checkbox selected by default when translating posts?

Thank you.

I have done a few tests and did not find a feature that would allow us to have all of them selected.

Are you looking to translate their descriptions, title, alt, etc? If yes please try this and let me know your results.

- Add a job to translation and do not select the media

- Access the translation, you should be able to still see this information available for translation.

Let me know your results, please.
